View Audit Log

The DPS PocketFlash™ application maintains a time-stamped audit log of various events that occur while using the application.  Some of the events logged include order creation, synchronization and responses to popup messages.

File location:
\Java\pocketflash\logs
File names:
logYYMMDD.txt

The YYMMDD portion of a log file name corresponds to the date when the log file was created.  For example, log061231.txt would be a log file that was created on December 31, 2006.

A new log file is created for each day that the applicaton is started.  The current log file is the file with the most recent date.  If the application is left running for more than one day, then the current log file will be the one created when the application was last started.

Log files are retained for up to 10 days.  Log files older than 10 days are automatically deleted when the application is started.

All log files are plain text files that can be viewed with any plain text file viewer such as Pocket Word (a.k.a. Word Mobile).  The oldest log entries appear at the beginning of a file.  The newest log entries appear at the end of a file.

Viewing the log file(s):
If your device has Pocket Word installed:

• To open one of the log files for viewing, simply navigate to the above folder using the device's File Explorer program and then tap on the desired file in the list.  It may be necessary to turn the Pocket Word word-wrap feature on or off so that the file is easier to read (View > Wrap to Window).
• When you have finished viewing the file, simply close the Pocket Word program by tapping on the OK button located in the upper right corner of the title bar (to the right of the clock).  Note: It is imperative that Pocket Word is closed; otherwise, the file will be locked by Pocket Word and will not be accessible to PocketFlash.

If your device does not have Pocket Word installed, you will have to copy the desired file to a desktop PC using ActiveSync and then view the file using a desktop text file viewer program such as Notepad.
